2009 Great Energy Efficiency Day
The 2009 Great Energy Efficiency Day (GEED)—which took place on March 3, 2009, in Washington, DC—was an outstanding event. The highlight? An inspiring keynote address by the new Secretary of Energy, Dr. Steven Chu, who spoke to a packed room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building about the major role energy efficiency will play in America's energy portfolio.
Launched in 2004, the Great Energy Efficiency Day has quickly become a “must attend” discussion on the need for, and benefits of, energy efficiency, drawing more than 400 stakeholders from business, industry, government, academia, the media and the public interest sector. The event features the leading energy voices in energy efficiency addressing timely issues and provides insight from Capitol Hill with keynote addresses from congressional members.
